[Mailman-Users] [newbie]Need help with mailman on Linux

[Brian]

Hello all!

	I followed the instructions for mailman, set up "test" and then
opened my web browser to find this error message:

--------------------------------Snip-----------------------------------
	Bug in Mailman version 1.1

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of
this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what
happened. Thanks! 

Traceback:


Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/home/mailman/scripts/driver", line 89, in run_main
    immediate=1)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py", line 48, in

    f = self.__fp = open(self.__filename, 'a+')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/mailman/logs/error'

I am not a python programmer but, reading these entries, I think that
mailman may not have the proper permissions to write to either syslog or
/home/mailman/logs??

Is this a correct assumption?? If so, how can I fix this? 

Thanks in advance!
